During update to Monterey beta to an external ssd, startup stopped with barred circle and unusable ssd!
I have a recent time machine backup, still I don't know how to repair the respective container. In diskutil the volume is shown as "AppleAPFSMedia not initialized" and can not be repaired!
'diskutil apfs list' shows an error (Container ERROR -69808). See partial listing:
